Tommy Wiseau on a copyright binge... Again.

Maybe he'll get sued. I know The Bible Reloaded is suing a christian film company that tried to take down their channel. It feels like both IP owners and video creators are upping the anty against one another. It's only a matter of time until this gets shoved into the spotlight.

Yeah, but Hugo and Jake aren't going to lose that fight in a million years (unless, as their counsel said, they get a Christian judge who rules against them out of spite due to their content). Only a blind idiot would disagree that the Christiano Brothers group is REALLY taking it too far this time. Two of their new DMCA claims are on videos in which Hugo and Jake were discussing the earlier DMCA claims that the Christiano group filed against them - claims that, in time, they successfully countered. The two videos in question contained absolutely no stills, no clips, no audio, no music, nothing at all from the content they're accused of stealing.

Between their legal battle and Jim Sterling's lawsuit with DigiHom, I hope SOMETHING changes. These fights are getting ugly, and they're threatening the legality of valid criticism. If DigiHom or the Christiano group wins, it'll be a sad day for intellectualism and consumer protection.

I know H3H3 is getting sued as well. Just need one win and the other two will go away.

Speaking of DigiSu, how is the Internet's Inside Joke doing?

Still trying to get money for the suit.

They seem to be in rut at the moment filing the same motion repeatedly last I heard. Funnily enough, I may have some little news that amuses me. A while ago I posted a fairly lengthy post summing up the situation on the Digihom lawsuit threat. I went on holiday for a bit and when I came back today I found in my inbox here a message from user "jamesromine" asking me to delete a section of the post where I claimed (apparently incorrectly, I'll work on fixing that) that Digihom had confessed to being Xenobyte studios, the "developer" that was behind a Tumblr blog trying to discredit Sterling.

I call them DigiSu now. Because it sure ain't Digital Homicide any more.

Well that's a shame. Both I Hate Everything and Nostalgia Critic said he was a good sport, but he's just another **** that seems brain damaged. I'm sure it's hardly an issue for both the critics though since they've dealt with this crap so many times before probably.

Did NC really say that? I'm a little surprised to hear that. XD I remember when his Room review first hit the net way back in... I think 2010. It was immediately taken down by a copyright strike from Tommy, and Doug replaced the review with a skit called "the tommy wiseau show" that was basically just 15 minutes of complaining about the guy's pedantic fury.

No, I mixed it up (with someone, I forgot). Thanks for telling me because those skits are great ^^

I think there was an interview a few years later. I think it was one of the videos removed.
